Title: Light Oil Balls!
Post by: JEE on September 08, 2007, 03:08:05 AM

If you were to select between a cherry vibe, bash, jazz for lighter conditions or late leagues, which would you go with.

Cherry Vibe! I have to get one. You wouldn't believe the control and predictability it has.

rc,

What layout do you have on the CV?  That ball is really strong on the backend.  It is the Blue Vibe that is predictable and controllable.

JEE,

Depends on the bowler and their style.  A cranker would probably want the Jazz as it is the weakest of the 3, but could get away with the Bash with the low flaring core.  The Cherry Vibe is the strongest with the most backend reaction.  Tweeners could get away with all 3 depending on layout and cover prep.

Bought a cherry vibe w/pin up between the fingers and the cg out about 2-inches from mid-line for rt handed bowler. It absolutely is killing house shots, I put a light surface on it for a little bit better control. Also bought a 3-piece jazz same type drill for truly dryer conditions.
